About

I am a Product Manager who ships in the hard parts of enterprise.

I build high-stakes products at the intersection of AI architecture, complex data systems, and automation. My background spans financial services, logistics, and applied machine learning—environments where I've led cross-functional teams to replace legacy manual workflows, execute build-vs-buy ML evaluations, and push critical enterprise features to production.

Over my career, I have focused on driving measurable business outcomes:

  • Generated $500K+ in new ARR & direct revenue by shipping 0-to-1 digital platforms and automated ML solutions.
  • Accelerated enterprise customer acquisition by 30% by identifying regulatory barriers and managing cross-functional compliance roadmaps (SOC 2).
  • Experience anchoring technical discovery, security-first architecture, and deterministic workflows.

Certified AI PM | Next Gen PM.

Featured Projects

One shipped capstone and two structured PM exercises — explained with problem, solution and outcome.

Capstone · ShippedFreightSight AI · AI PM Capstone

GenAI freight inspection platform for 3PL operators

PROBLEM3PL operators process freight damage and paperwork manually — a bottleneck that delays claims and stresses ops teams at scale.
SOLUTIONDesigned FreightSight AI: Gemini 2.5 Pro Vision for damage assessment, agentic OCR for documentation, and a HITL review layer for edge cases — with full GTM strategy, ICP, pricing, and design-partner rollout.
OUTCOME0-to-1 product concept with end-to-end architecture and go-to-market plan covering 3PL target segments and phased adoption.

PM ExerciseLyft · Campus & Medical Expansion
Portfolio Exercise — Hypothetical · Not affiliated with Lyft

How would you design Lyft's expansion into high-density corporate campuses and medical complexes?

PROBLEMStandard ride-hail doesn't map to high-density campuses — fixed routes, security checkpoints, recurring employee schedules and hospital shift patterns create different mobility needs.
PRODUCTDesigned LyftCampus: scheduled shared shuttles, employer-paid corporate accounts, hospital shift-bundle rides and badge-gated pickup zones. B2B GTM with HR and facilities buyers.
OUTCOMEFull 0-to-1 product spec, pricing model, pilot segmentation and rollout plan with success metrics tied to ride density and contract renewal.

PM ExerciseGoogle Maps · Metrics Strategy
Portfolio Exercise — Hypothetical · Not affiliated with Google

Defining real success metrics for Google Maps

PROBLEMVanity engagement metrics (DAU, sessions) misrepresent navigation product success when users want the shortest interaction.
APPROACHBuilt a metric tree, redefined the north star around 'completed successful navigations', and designed two A/B experiments that contradicted the old framework.
OUTCOMEReframed measurement model and trade-off analysis between engagement and task-completion metrics.

Work Process

How I move from ambiguity to shipped outcomes

A repeatable rhythm of discovery, definition, build and measurement — shaped by enterprise constraints and tuned for measurable lift.

1. Discover

Customer interviews, data audits and competitive teardown to find the real problem worth solving.

2. Define

PRDs, MVP scoping, success metrics and a build-vs-buy call before a line of code is written.

3. Build

Tight loop with engineering and design — release cadence, GTM prep and pilot design partners.

4. Measure

Instrumentation, A/B tests and guardrails — kill features that don't move the north star.
